Overview
The Portfolio Viewer provides insight into all asset holdings under a selected entity, portfolio or umbrella, along with their respective property values. Many clients use this page to verify the holdings included in the positions file. The Portfolio Viewer is relatively simple but can be an effective tool when used properly.
Where to Find the Portfolio Viewer Page
Listed below are the steps a client must take to reach the Portfolio Viewer page for a respective Entity, Portfolio or Umbrella.
Click the folder icon located in the upper right-hand corner of the navigation bar to access the Portfolios & Entities screen.
Once the entity or portfolio of interest is located, click the Assets on DD MMM YY link found under the Last Data column located towards the right of the page.
When completing Step 2, it is important to keep in mind that the entity level will display every asset in each portfolio of that entity, while the portfolio level will only display the assets for that portfolio.
Searching Assets and Filtering Properties
Once on the Portfolio Viewer page, some of the column headers allow you to search for specific positions. These columns are AssetId, AssetName, AssetClass, ISIN, IssuerId, and IssuerName.
Similarly, these can also be used to filter results. For example, if you wanted to look at ADR’s under a specific issuer, you would type “ADR” in the AssetClass header and “IssuerXYZ” in the IssuerName header.
Aggregation Structures, Look Throughs, and Changed Positions
When viewing the Portfolio Viewer page, you’ll see a filter for Aggregation Structure, which will indicate the aggregation structure you currently have selected. To amend this, select the Filter dropdown to choose an alternative option.
The filter dropdown also has an option to select Include look-throughs. Selecting this will make all look-throughs visible. The table is organised so that each underlying asset is listed directly under its parent asset.
Lastly, you will see an option to select Only show changed positions. By checking this box, the holdings will be filtered to show only those that have changed since the previous file upload.
Colour Coding Explained
The value cells will be white, orange, or blue.
White - Indicates a value has not changed from the previous upload.
Orange - Indicates a change since the previous upload. Hovering over an orange cell displays both the current and previous values.
Blue - Indicates a value that is in place as a result of an existing override. Hovering over a blue cell will display the original value.
